Capt. George w. Anderson has
traded the Blue Wing for the
Fanny Fern, a boat of greater
speed and carrying capacity. The
Fern is a new boat, having been
built last fall, and will make her
first trip up to this city to-day.
Capt. Anderson has made a good
trade as the Blue Wing was too
slow and too small to accommodate
her trade.

The X. u. Out of the Fight.

Meeting Mr. Chas. H. Stoll,
attorney for the Kentucky Union
Railroad. on the train Thursday
morning, we asked what his road
was doing; if it was still coquetting
with Bourbon and Clark counties,
or had frozen to Lexington. He re-
piled that the Union would GER
tainly go to Lexington, and those
counties would have to take care
Of themselves. SO one great OBJ.
stacle in the way of the Paris,
Georgetown g. Frankfort Railroad
is removed, and now let the mat
ter be pushed with energy.
Our neighbors in Scott, who
have heretofore been inclined to
favor the Union, will now see
that the Franklin county delega-
ton was right when they told
them the Union people were only
making use Of them to bring Lex
ington to terms. The road from
this city to the Virginia line is a
much better route for both Scott
and Bourbon counties to the coal
fields, and with the Union infu-
ence no longer in the field to con-
fuse the people, there should be
united effort in all the counties
through which the road is to pass,
to secure it at an early day.

Secretary E. H. Abbott, of the
Supreme Council, Royal Ten
rlars Of Temperance, is missing
from Buffalo, N. Y. His accounts
are $1,000 short. His bondsmen
have made good the amount, and
will probably be able to recover
most of it. Abbott is in Mon
treal.-Exehange.
The total amount of Abbott
defalcation is S6,4IS, which is
covered by a bond for $40, 900,
upon which the New York Trust
Company is surety. In addition
to this amount, he took with him
to Canada drafts on New York
made payable to his order, to the
amount of So, 900. Payment of
them was stopped by telegraph, as
soon as it was learned he had fled,
and the drafts were surrended to
committee of the Supreme Council
sent to Montreal by the Toronto
Bank of that city, where they had
been deposited by Abbott for COL
lection. Among the drafts taken
by Abbott to Canada, was one for
the amount Of 81, 900 to be paid to
the heirs of James Stephens, Of
Columbus, this State. Everything
has been Strengthened out and the
order is in splendid condition.

bands, more in keeping with the
 rapidly diminishing sizes of grazing
 tracts. When this fact is realized,
 the result will be smaller holdings
 of stock in the hands of many as
 compared with the few now con
 trolling the business, while quality instead of quantity will be the great
 desideratum. High grades will be the rule that necessity will first en- force, and then will follow the prop osition of feeding" both for the purpose of the production of more and better beef by each animal, and also for the object of securing early maturity. With these trans formations will come less of the present hap-hazard style of con- the business, and every dol lar invested in cattle will be watch ed with the same eager solicitude that now distinguishes it's career in other enterprises.-Hoof and Horn.

The craze which a few years ago was characterized by the formation of large companies for the purpose of carrying on the cattle business in the range country of the west, is now bearing the fruit that the i'm mature and half-formed ideas which distinguished the major portion of the organizers of such schemes could only give birth to. Loosely thrown together, conducted in the incoherent manner that their or ganization made unavoidable, it is a matter of surprise that the num- Der of such companies that failed is not larger; although there can be no doubt but what the next year will see some additions, Another fact is, the day for large cattle con- cerns has gone by. Each settler on the range of such companies, no matter how immense it is, is like wedge tending to tear it asunder, and it requires but little foresight to see that this agency alone will force at no distant day the division of all larger herds into smaller

A Washington dispatch of June 14th says United States Land Com missioner Sparks has advised the attorneys for a purchaser of lands in Nebraska, from the Burlington and Missouri River Railway Com pany, that no more patents can be issued to said company for lands north of the line of that state for the reason that the company has already received patents under former administration of the Land O&ce for 100000 acres more than it is entitled to. The Commission CT, some time since recommended that suit be instituted to recover this excess.

of a sudden, and the fact is, it set a coat on one of them wore on fire.
 While they were putting that out the cabin was getting into ashes at about a mile a minute.
 "In a little while it was down to the ground. They had drawn off a few yards, and as near as I could make out were holding a kind of consultation whether they should search. But one buck, the fellow I mentioned, kept pointing to the west, and by and by they got on their ponies and away they went. I could sec them for some distance, and I didn't get out of cover for several hours. Then I fished few traps out of the ruins and made pretty straight bee line for Nogales. I knew it was not healthy to be about. When I'got.there 1 learned of the Diehlsscase and knew better than ever what a narrow escape I had had.
 Glow did I come to be reported killed? We'll, you see I am pretty we'll known down through that part of the country, and I suppose that when the scouts found my cabin burned, they, jumped at the con clusion that the Indians had got away with me. I expect they were glad of it'too, forithose scouts are almost as bad as the hostiles on the sly, andssI have the name of having helped a few of them over to the happy hunting grounds"

While visiting Hillsborough this week we were shown the companion piece of the notorious Billy the Kid-the gun with which the Kid lasd to rest many a man. This sou venir of border rutfianism is now in possession of Sheriff Story, of HillsbOrough, and is Winchester 44-calibre saddle gun. There are fifteen notches on the stock of the rifle, which are supposed to indi- cate the number of victims hurried hence through its medium, The last killing in which this gun was used is said to have been the mur- der of Major Grady. The gun be- longs to Mrs. v. Cosgrove of this city.-Kingston Shaft.

AAN Aoo OSdo OIOSh O1OWCI
 says the genius of the Cattle Trust
 has been caught in bad company
 This is deplorable news. We have
 been assured the past six days that
 Nelse Morris having seen the error
 of his ways and the great wrongs
 heaped upon the cattle producers,
 had gone out from his old asso-
 ciates and allied himself with those
 who love the rangemen, and by a
 course of well-doing and exceeding
 philanthrophy would, in the future
 make beef on foot worth fifty cents
 a hundred more than 1t sold for
 last year. This was refreshing news
 of buoyant nature. We delighted
 in it. Our elastic hopes, however,
 have been dashed a trifle, for we
 find it stated in a reputable and
 trustworthy Chicago paper that the
 wholesale dressed beef handlers at the stock yards are very much in- terested in the continuance of the present quarantine against Cook county-that five of them, in fact, are making from s10,0O0 to $30,OOO a day each as an extra profit accru- ing indirectly from the quarantine restrictions, so that the keeping up of the quarantine is Q good thing for them. The five firms especially interested are the Armour, Swift, Nelse Morris, Ike Waxell, and East man houses. Since the quarantine went into force the price of live cattle of the class known as "feed- CTS" has fallen over a cent pound, but the price of dressed beef re- mains the same. Feeders are now worth s per 100 pounds, whereas the price used to be $4 or higher a difference of at least SIP on a 1 ,2OO-pound beast, or one of the average weight. To people who buy 1000 to 5000 beasts day as each of the five firms does, this makes a difference of $12,0OO to l $36,000 in day's profits" It is said, too, by the same authority 1 that the stock yards millionaires are adding "rivers of wealth to their oceans of riches" in the proseca- ton of this business. MT. Morris is far-seeing fellow. He invites the cooperation of the rangeman in pushing up prices. The forego- ing is short history of his meth ods. He will pay you one-fourth he value of your property if you will sell to him and then he will nelp you to get the remaining three iourths' value and a premium, per laps-if he feels that way.

The Helena Independent, apro- pos of the consideration of the Woman's Property Rights Act in Montana Territory, publishes the following bill, introduced by Rep resentative Buskett during the clos ing hours of the Legislature. It was passed under suspension of the rules, and went to the Council, where it was variously apportioned out to special committees and final ly referred back to the House with the recommendationthatit 1t be trans lated into the Missourilanguage: AN ACT FOR THE BETTER PROTECTION
 OF MARRIED MEN.
 Be it enacted by the Legislative
 Assembly of Montana:
 Whereas, During the present ses- sion of the Legislature sundry, numerous and divers bills have been passed looking to the improve ment of the condition of married women, defining their rights and clothing them as nearly as possible with the legal rights and attributes of men, and
 Whereas, Under the laws above mentioned said married women may sue and be sued, may hold and own property in their individual right, separate and apart from their husbands; therefore, be it resolved,
 Section 1. That hereafter it shall be a misdemeanor for any married woman to purchase a new bonnet, a silk dress or a sealskin sacque unless she shall first obtain a writ ten order from her husband, and shall further have given him an in- identifying bond for the payment of the same.
 Sec. 2. That in consideration of extra rights, privileges and immu- mites heretofore mentioned, It shall hereafter be lawful for any husband to stay out at least three times a week until 12 o'clock at midnight, and if any married woman shall utter any complaint she shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be punished by being pro- hibited from making any comment upon the bonnet of the lady who occupies the front pew in church.
 Sec. 3. In addition to the three nights above provided, married men may be permitted to attend lodge on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights, respectively, of eack week, and said lodges are hereby permitted to keep open un- til ? o'clock A.
